CALL FOR CONTRIBUTORS
\nLandscapes of Repair online exhibition
\nDeadline: 10 June 2021<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We invite contributions to an online exhibition on landscapes of repair in Kosovo and the Western
\nBalkans, opening July 2021. We are interested in showcasing five existing works by Kosovo-based artists
\nthat represent or engage with the exhibition theme via a variety of artistic media suitable for the
\nKunstmatrix <\/a>platform, including photography, short films, recorded spoken word and multimedia.<\/p>\n

Landscapes of Repair project<\/strong><\/p>\n

Landscapes of Repair is a collaborative project on post-traumatic landscapes in Kosovo, arising from a
\npartnership between the University of Sheffield and the international NGO forumZFD. The project links
\nUniversity of Sheffield research on post-traumatic landscapes together with forumZFD\u2019s expertise in
\ndealing with the past in Kosovo and the Western Balkans. Landscapes of Repair seeks to establish a
\ncollaborative platform through the involvement of local, regional and international researchers, civil
\nsociety actors, local communities and artists with a focus on post-traumatic place-making and the
\nconstruction, availability and transformation of public space within post-conflict Kosovo. Foregrounding
\nthe localised reclamation of spaces that have been shaped by trauma in the region, the project fosters
\nacademic research, documentation, and the articulation of civil society actors in the context of landscape
\nrepair as signifier of local, regional, and international socio-political dynamics.<\/p>\n

Exhibition<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exhibition forms one of three outputs of this ongoing collaborative project. Alongside a (i)
\nsymposium and (ii) e-publication on the same themes, the (iii) exhibition seeks to engage with civil,
\nartistic and cultural responses to dealing with the past in Kosovo and the Western Balkans, reparative
\nprocesses of local memorialisation and architectural reconstruction, and the reclaiming of public space
\nby those who create, occupy and use it.<\/p>\n

Each contributing artist will receive a 400 EURO honoraria<\/strong> for their contribution, and will be asked to
\ncontribute a pre-recorded or live talk based on their artwork at the accompanying symposium. Proposed
\ncontributions should not exceed 1-5 MB<\/strong>, and should respond to any of the following questions:<\/p>\n
